What if all it took to help a charity raise $1 million was a simple online vote? Would you help then? The Center for the Pacific Asian Family hopes so, as the nonprofit competes with 99 other charities in the Chase Community Giving contest on Facebook.

CPAF, which helps Asian Pacific Islanders who have been victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, has lined up some impressive supporters for its star-powered public service announcements, including actor Justin Chon from the Twilight films. Other CPAF supporters include John Cho (Star Trek), Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), Aaron Yoo (21, Disturbia), Archie Kao (CSI), Joe Hahn (Linkin Park) and Lisa Ling (Oprah).

The Chase Community Giving contest, with its social media angle and the involvement of so many celebrities, is a great way to get some attention to organizations like Center for the Pacific Asian Family, which runs a 24-hour support line, emergency and transitional shelters, and counseling services for victims and their families. All it takes to help out is a vote, whether it’s for CPAF or one of the other 99 charities. It won’t cost you a dime. Winners will be announced Saturday.

To find out more about CPAF and its mission, I shot off some questions to Chon. The queries were handed to a film crew that filmed the actor’s responses. Check out the video above for some firsthand insight into the charity as well as some Twilight: Eclipse tidbits for Twihards.

The Twilight Saga has vampires, werewolves and humans. Funny humans. Actor Justin Chon has a sharp sense of humor, and, as he sat down for lunch on Monday at the appropriately named Bella Cucina in Hollywood with RadarOnline.com, he revealed some major scoop about the third Twilight movie Eclipse.

First of all, Justin is heading to Vancouver on Tuesday with Michael Welch, Christian Serratos and Anna Kendrick to join the rest of the cast and he told RadarOnline.com the exclusive detail that they are “not just going to be in the cafeteria,” for all their scenes in Eclipse!

BellaAndEdward.com: Is this the first time you’ve heard of Twilight?Justin Chon: Actually, one of my friends is really into the books, he’s read all three of them. I’ve read the first book and when I heard about the movie, I was like, “Okay, I’ve got to be in that!”

BAE: How did you get the part of Eric? What was the audition process like, did you even have to audition?JC: It was just like any other part I’ve auditioned for. My agent got me to audition and I auditioned for Catherine, the director, and then I came back and auditioned again. I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but I got the part!

So you’re going to play the part of Eric in Twilight. What was the audition process like?
Well when I auditioned, I didn’t know too much about the book. I had read part of it but not a lot. I was aware of quite a few famous young actors auditioning for my role. Anyway I stayed the whole day and did about 3 or 4 auditions, and then I got a call-back where I did some improvisations and also I auditioned with Kristen. Slowly slowly we began auditioning in bigger groups and eventually we auditioned as a large group and it was everyone that got cast for the film. After that, I got offered the role.
